Many things to do, many ironies to appreciate
Music: The Afters - Beautiful Love
Books: Nothing in particular.
It's close to three months now and the writers lab hasnt sent me a letter. Or maybe they sent me an email but it landed up in my junk mail folder. Shoot. That's why I'd tell you never to rely on technology too much. Think you can keep all your friends birthdays and addresses online? Think it's not worth the effort to transfer all your friends handphone numbers into a backup bank of information? Think you can store all your songs and digital photos on your computer without ever burning them out or printing them, or at least making a backup copy somewhere? Think you can pen down your whole life on a blog and not keep any for your diary? Think again.
Well anyway, I guess it just means Im going to have to try to be more funny next year in the open category. And thanks to the following exchange I had with an excessively pessimistic friend of mine, I feel like starting work on a real script already:
ME: Are you here.
FRIEND: Sadly.
This is, truly, inspirational material. This is also why I enjoy talking to people more pessimistic than me. And do you not realise that one of the most humourous types of character around are the cynics, the sore losers in their own world? That in itself constitutes a beautiful irony already.

That's why I keep all my friends' contact information in a notebook as well (but have been told by a few that I'm too paranoid). Anyway I hate it when people send me email asking me to enter my contact information/birthday into their online address books/calenders because if you're really sincere then just ask me personally, OK?! I hate this kind of online services, so cold fish.
I need to meet your friend. We can have a party.
U see what I mean? Heheh.

Why are you so confident that you were chosen?
